The field of public policy analysis; centered about practical choices, is being extended by this journal to include useful comparisons among nations or other political units, as well as borrowing or lesson‐drawing. This extension should remain close to the practical orientation of the field, rather than seeking to contribute to those disciplinary theories that lack practical usefulness in the short term (several decades). Implications of this admonition are spelled out in the form of a list of suggested topics for articles in this journal.
